Making a limited edition Steinhart watch
« on: December 05, 2012, 01:21:48 PM »
Hi

Greetings to all forum members. I am interested in collaborating with Steinhart in making a limited edition run watch that is only available for Malaysia. Please do shed some light on this post to see if anyone is interested and who has the will to help so we can come up with a team in achieving our goals. Please comment below if you are interested.

If you are curious about this project, please do look at this watch that is a collaboration between Turkish watch forum and Steinhart:

Please do comment below if you are interested, so i can keep track on who and how many are interested.

Regards,
C.K. Lim

Thanks for interest but we need more people to join and like i say come up with a team for this project. I believe that currently there is a project ongoing with Lum-Tec. For me, I am not into that particular watch and it was too heavy on the price. I am thinking within RM 2000. The price of that lum tec is that higher mainly due to its custom case design and all. For this project, I am hoping to make use of their current line up but with a few tweaks here and there so to keep the price low.

They make great Fliegers IMHO. A clean Flieger style dial and a customized MWF caseback would be nice.

Just to be clear.
This project is NOT in any way affiliated with MWF.

This is NOT a MWF project.
We already have one in progress.

That said it is always interesting for someone to undertake a project like this and best of luck.
Do keep us updated.  ;D

Yes, I do know that currently MWF has our first collaboration with Lum-Tec and the project is completing soon. I just would like to have another unofficial watch, if there is enough interest from the member. However, is it okay for us to have the MWF marking at the caseback or dial ?

Hi Jeffrey8891,

We would have to respectfully decline and say no to have MWF name on your project.
As there is no mods involved and we are still finishing out 1st project watch for the members.
Maybe a later time.

All the best of luck on this project.

FYI, our first project watch is by Vintage VDB.

Hi, thanks anyway and I understand . Weirdly in my mind I have always taught that the Vintage VDB is the name the group decided on. My bad  :D

Update: Guys, as you can see. We are not allowed to have MWF markings on this project. Please do understand this and we shall come up with a design that signify it as a limited run for Malaysian. In order to achieve so, we need someone who is good in photoshop.  :Praying:

Another note: we need at least a a substantial people of interest to start this project with Steinhart. Among the interested number of people, there will be people who will be in the team involved in the design and communication between the group and Steinhart. Nevertheless, all who are interested will be informed of every design cue and pricing throughout the project. A group will be started in Facebook after we acquire a certain number of people. Progess of the project will be posted on both Facebook Group and here in the forum.

Regards

CK

Duly noted.  :Cheers:

On your question, I am still not sure. But based on the run of the TSF limited edition, there is only 44 pieces so I presume that we need to reach that number.

Yes, I agree, most probably to get it below RM 2,000. With weaker Euros, I do hope it is possible. Not that I am black heart, hope that Malaysia Ringgit get stronger while the euros get weaker.  ::)

I hope so too. However, a vote will decide the overall design of the watch.
